If you are not shocked and deeply troubled by yesterday's massacre in Rafah, you are a psychopath.
History will not only remember those who committed the crimes but also those who remained silent.
Great news – The Assad Regime Anti-Normalization Act has passed the House!
Thank you to @RepJoeWilson for spearheading this effort and to all representatives and members of the Syrian American community who played a crucial role in this great success. Let’s get this passed in the Senate! @BGhbeis@syrianetf
This not a war. This is a systematic massacre of civilians with destruction of a densely populated area to make it uninhabitable; by cowards hiding behind technology. This is ethnic cleansing.
A war is human fighting human.

Assad’s upcoming attendance at the #COP28 UN Climate Summit is an affront to justice, human rights, international law, and basic human decency. #Syria
It is a “mockery of diplomacy” - @BGhbeis and @RepEliotEngel…world leaders must respond accordingly.

This is an unprecedented step towards accountability and justice. Arrest warrants have been issued for Bashar al-Assad, Maher al-Assad and two senior officials for the use of chemical weapons in attacks on Douma and Ghouta, killing over 1,000 Syrians.
Justice will always prevail #FreeSyria

Great historic step indeed. An arrest warrant against a current president is unprecedented. The chemical attack in 2013 on East Ghouta, and other chemical attacks, should not go unpunished. Other countries judiciary systems should follow. Great team effort
#Assad joined the #ArabLeague "emergency" meeting on #Gaza today, hosted by #Saudi.
Little mention of his year-long starvation siege of the Palestinian Yarmouk Camp; the 5,000+ Palestinians killed by regime shelling or the ~4,000 Palestinians still in #Assad's torture prisons.
NEW - Judges of the French War Crimes Unit Issue International Arrest Warrants Against Four High-Ranking Syrian Officers Charged with Complicity in War Crimes.
These officers include two former Defence Ministers, Major Generals Ali Abdallah Ayoub and Fahed Jassem al-Fraij, in addition to the commander of the Air Force, Brigadier General Ahmad Balloul, and the commander of the 64th helicopter brigade, Brigadier Ali Safetli.
We applaud this step towards justice and accountability for war crimes committed in #Syria

This is not at all surprising considering Assad was bombing the areas affected by the earthquake while rescue efforts were still ongoing. #CriminalAssad will never be benevolent, no matter the political bargaining chips he is offered.
